was: detect active config, now: Start it Up

[Brian Hamlin <ca...@yahoo.com>]

all-  i read the theory of operation on the wiki for
spamd. Still wondering...

Since I am not installing a new SA as a user, the
existing SA is there, but for whatever reason is not
active for my acct, yet is reachable and basically
functioning...

There must be a magic line in the original install
scripts that setup spamd. I want to run that line,
now, for my user acct.

There was a typo in the original post, the OS is
Solaris, but referred to as SunOS, 5.8, as best as I
can gather.
Also, ironically, I just noticed that the Yahoo acct I
am using to send this with ('cause my mail is broken)
has at the bottom 'we have the best spam filter'. hmmm

Thanks in advance for any hints or insights
  -Brian

I'm not sure anyone is going to be able to answer your questions since you
don't seem to be coming at it from the admin side.

But I can tell you that SA requires you to use the 'filter' user account
(whatever that is on your system) to send an email through SA.

So, make sure you SU (super user) to use the filter user account that calls
SA before you try to send a test email through SA.
